Broken Lines will bring a story-driven tactical RPG in an alternative WW2 setting to Linux

I was really hoping this would be a cooperative multiplayer game... but it still looks so good that I might get it to play all by myself. :'(

What rules this one out for me is two-fold:
- Single-player
- Graphics look pretty darn old

Has anyone else been having trouble paying via PayPal at GOG? I have been trying to buy a game there for a couple days now.

Cool news I think. There is always a little fear that the highest sponsor gets to do the most steering. That sponsor is really Amazon right now. At least it's open source though.

I find it odd that XSplit is a sponsor. Did they give up?

I am not a fan of those graphics to be honest... but it looks like the gameplay is somewhat dynamic and fun(ny).

I might double dip on Shadowrun Hong Kong - Extended Edition because I already have it on Steam. Why? Because I really, really liked Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut in spite of a couple annoying things throughout the game. (And I already double dipped that one. :))

Video recording and livestreaming app OBS Studio has a big new release out

Quoting: 14Cool. I will be looking out to see if certain white areas in games still get turned to black or not when using window capture mode. I've been having to capture the whole monitor lately, which I don't like.
It seems to be fixed! That's nice. It was funky like all Summer. Now, I can go back to only capturing my window so chat pop-ups and stuff won't show up on stream anymore. w00t

DXVK 1.4 released boosting this Vulkan layer to support D3D 11.4

I've been running around WoW Classic tonight and I told my buddy that the game looks a little better somehow. It looks a little sharper or better colors. My fans are louder than normal while playing as well. I wonder which thing(s) affected all this. Oh well. I'm happy for it!

OBS Studio has a fresh release candidate available for a major new version

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: 14OBS hasn't been picking up the color white lately. It's been showing it as black. Seems like a regression maybe. I wonder if that will be fixed. I'm running version 23.
Is this window capture? Try ticking both swap red and blue + use alpha-less texture format. Even on NVIDIA, this is needed otherwise some games just aren't captured correctly on Linux.
It's not that; I've tried. :( I've only needed to do that when I see greens that shouldn't be there. In this case, it's black.

Dota 2 is going through multiple big ban waves and some matchmaking changes
20 Sep 2019 at 4:14 pm UTC

I'm happy to hear about banning the griefers. That's why I always quit Dota 2. I get the notion to play, play like every day for a few weeks or a month, and then I get to a breaking point where I don't want to deal with jerks anymore. They're not in every game, but it doesn't matter. If you have a terrible experience 1/5 games, it can still be bad enough to avoid.

I'm currently playing WoW Classic too much, but I look forward to trying out Dota 2 again sometime.

EDIT: I would sure hate to get a new mobile phone # and in turn be banned from Dota 2!
